The Prompt: Write an ode to Melanin

The sweetest nectar from the darkest fruit

Nourishing our bodies and souls

More valuable than a king’s ransom and a pirate’s loot

Your beauty is eternal goals

The supernatural spark you emit

Influences the entire Earth

From your intellect, your love, your skill, your grit

In this world, they undervalue your worth

The culture you birth, the life you create

Is an infinite blessing, that’s right

And no amount of envy or hate

Will ever dim your light

Salute Robin for today’s prompt. The FINAL Prompt of December!

Thank you to those who followed me on this journey. This creative challenge. May no writer’s block, imposter syndrome or any once of self-doubt ever overcome your creative spark. It may lose its brilliance from time to time, but it will never stop burning bright. Until the next story, be well!
